Newcastle Falcons secured a place in the semi-finals of the Premiership Rugby Cup with a 28-12 victory at Sale Sharks.

Callum Chick's seventh-minute try was converted by Toby Flood as the Falcons made a flying start, but the home side hit back to level the scores when centre Rohan Janse Van Rensburg collected a chip over the defensive line to score between the posts, scrum-half Will Cliff adding the conversion.

It took until the 57th minute for the next score to arrive, with Newcastle's Vereniki Goneva touching down less than a minute after coming off the bench following a neat one-two with Flood, who added the extras.

Worcester Warriors will host Saracens in the semi-finals after a brilliant second-half performance gave them a 35-23 victory over Wasps.

The home side led 9-8 at half-time thanks to three penalties from Duncan Weir, but found themselves behind early in the second period following a try from Wasps' full-back Rob Miller.

However, the Warriors then scored four tries in the space of 15 minutes, with Bryce Heem grabbing a brace and Francois Venter and Ethan Waller also crossing to put the result beyond doubt. Nizaam Carr's late score proved little consolation for Wasps.
